The lake Como, a destination in Italy, about which almost everyone has heard. The most popular are the three towns – Varenna, Bellagio and Menaggio. Nature gives us incredibly beautiful landscapes around the shores of the lake and I found a not so popular place, about which I will share you…
Where is the google point above Como lake
I slept in one great little house near Lago di Anone. My purpose for the next day was Varenna. 30 km distance – 30 minutes. But… not exactly. Before I left, I was looking through the route a few times and I found in google one place above Malgrate, which one had a beautiful panoramic view. Well it was not exactly like that… the view was not just beautiful, it was amazing! It is located in Malgrate and is called Baita Pian Sciresa.
You can reach it after a slight transition into the mountain. I wanted to leave the car in Via Pian Sciresa’s small parking lot, just below the trail, but in practice it didn’t work out like that. It turned out that the straight streets, which one were showed on google street, are actually steep and narrow and the access to them is through a narrow tunnel. We left the car in the beginning of Via Valle Scura street. And after that began the climbing up among picturesque houses, each one more beautiful that the other. Subsequently, I already found that there is another option to cross, on via San Grato and via Ai Colli, where it is significantly wider, but the navigation cheated us…
One of the most beautiful views above Como lake
The steep streets, accompanied by the hot sun… are not the best combination. The beginning of ecopath is a little climbing and ends on a large meadow, intersection point of several different nature routes around the area. It is crossed by following only the sign Pian Sciresa. You come to a well-maintained hut, which you go around to find yourself on a platform built around a huge antenna. The entire walk takes about 20 minutes of normal walking. When you get there and see the incredible view, you will understand that all that effort was worth it… and even the load was a bit. The view is indescribable! I can say, that it is one of the most beautiful views I have ever seen…
